蚊 | |

Cognate to Taishanese (and other Siyi dialects) 民 (min2), as in 細民仔／细民仔.
Schuessler (2007) suggests that it may come from the same etymon that gives 便 (OC *ben) as in 便嬖 (OC *ben peːɡs), which he relates to Proto-Kam-Sui *mpaːn¹ (“male (person)”) and Proto-Hlai *C-maːn (“male (person)”).

Readings
editEtymology 1
edit| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 蚊 |
| か Grade: S |
| kun'yomi |
From Old Japanese. Possibly related to 噛む (kamu, “to bite”) or 痒い (kayui, “itchy”), although the ultimate derivation remains unknown.
Pronunciation
editNoun
edit- mosquito
- 794, Shin'yaku Kegonkyō Ongi Shiki, page 161:

Etymology 2
edit| Kanji in this term |
|---|
| 蚊 |
| かあ Grade: S |
| kun'yomi |
Cognate with 蚊 (ka). Likely pronounced long due to being a single mora. Elongation of single mora words is still seen in the Ōsaka dialect with words like teː "hand" from te. The 794 quotation is the oldest extant example of a long vowel in Japanese.
